South Tama-Grinnell football alumni game set for Saturday

June 13, 2013

Starting at 7 p.m. Saturday at the South Tama High School football field, a historical event will take place. South Tama Trojans will host their big-time rival Grinnell Tigers in the very first Alumni Football Game between these two teams.

This is a must-see full padded, 15 minute quarters game as players from this year's class gets a chance to play with players from the past and vice versa. This is another chance for players to put the pads back on and be coached by past and present coaches and live their football playing days again. Playing under the Saturday Night Lights not only will it be fun for those of all ages from each school on the field with the touchdowns, the hits, and the yelling, but it will be exciting for those in the stands watching. Even if you don't like football, you might want to come watch this hard crunching event and be a part of history, to tell people, you were there and a part of it.

It is not too late to sign up and play for you! It doesn't matter your age, how your body feels, or in/out of shape you are. There's time to get ready. Last year, during an alumni football game between two other schools, there was a 63 year old linebacker who played the entire game. Age is not an excuse to not play. Don't let your excuses be the reasons you can't play.

We ask that everyone get their tickets now and before game day, so that the school will benefit from the proceeds from presale tickets. Buy yours now so you can be a part of 2000-3000 screaming fans. Imagine the atmosphere this game will bring! It will be fun for the players, fans and everyone a part of this history.
